I was never here, you assumed I was

 

You think you can define me

Your name must be Webster

 

Blanket statements

 

I have more than one gear

Multiple settings

Complex configurations

 

They are not for you to

Tamper and tinker

With

 

They'd be simple

If you asked

They'd be simple

If I told

 

You assume much

Based on

No observation

No study

No inquiry

 

You assume much

Based on

Someone else

 

I continue to

Do and be

Me

 

While you remain confused

Surprised by my actions

Baffled by my words

Perplex by my expression

 

Since you won't ask

Since you assume you already know

Ill only say

 

You never saw me

You only assumed you did

You never heard me

You only assumed you did

 

 

You never knew me

You only assumed you did
